Abstract

Let CC be a smooth projective curve over Fq\mathbb{F}_q with function field KK, E/KE/K a nonconstant elliptic curve and ϕ:EC\phi:\mathcal{E}\to C its minimal regular model. For each PCP\in C such that EE has good reduction at PP, i.e., the fiber EP=ϕ1(P)\mathcal{E}_P=\phi^{-1}(P) is smooth, the eigenvalues of the zeta-function of EP\mathcal{E}_P over the residue field κP\kappa_P of PP are of the form qP1/2eiθP,qPeiθPq_P^{1/2}e^{i\theta_P},q_{P}e^{-i\theta_P}, where qP=qdeg(P)q_P=q^{\deg(P)} and 0θPπ0\le\theta_P\le\pi. The goal of this note is to determine given an integer B1B\ge 1, α,β[0,π]\alpha,\beta\in[0,\pi] the number of PCP\in C where the reduction of EE is good and such that deg(P)B\deg(P)\le B and αθPβ\alpha\le\theta_P\le\beta.
